THE CABBAGE MAGeoT.,
An Emulsion which Proved Fatal to All
the Parasites that 1t Touched.


the Parasites that it Touched.
Early in June the roots of cabbage
and caulifower plants were found to
be invested with the cabbage maggot.
The attack was very severe, and, for Il
time, it seemed that the crop would be
destroyed. On June Is, forty-three
maggots were found upon or within
the root of single plant. We made
applications of the kerosene emulsion
to the roots by removing a little earth
about the plant, pouring in the enlul-
sion and replacing the earth. An ounce
of the Standard emulsion -four pounds
common yellow hard soap one gallon
kerosene and one gallon watcr), dis
solved in one pint of soft water, repeat
eddy applied, appeared to have no eff
feet on the maggots. Remembering
the experience of 1888, we feared to
use stronger emulsion. Prof A. J..
Cooks experiments at the Michigan
Agricultural College indicate that
there is little danger of making the
emulsion so strong as to injure
the roots. He writes us that he used
an emulsion consisting of one quart
soft soap, one gallon water and one
quart kerosene, about the roots of cab
bage plants without any harm result
ing. He adds that the emulsion of one
half this strength proved fatal to all
the maggots that it touched. He also
used gas lime with ex client results.
We tried mixture of pulverized earth
and mercury, after the manner that has
been recommended in California fol-
phylloxera, placing little of the mix
ture about the plants. This seemed to
have beneficial influence, but was not
an entire success. We found some
dead maggots in the plants treated and
many of the worms appeared to have
left, but we also found somo alive, il
immediate contact with the mixture. -

ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
The Old Way Of Working Ro1ds super
seeded by the Contract system.

The Old Way of Working Ro1ds Super
seeded by the Contract system.
The annual gathering of farmers to
work out their road tax with pick and
shovel 'as the law directs" to use an
old phrase, is fast giving way even in
the West to better methods and imple-
ments. Even the pillow and dump
scraper are now being largely super
seeded by machine labor. And the con-
tract system, by which township trus-
tees form roads through firms owning
machines, is now not rare. According
to an Eastern paper the old way is no
less Objectionable in the East, and in
relation to the better way there says;
The prevailing arguments against the
contract system are that persons not
owning real estate or personal prop
erty are, of course, exempt from taxa
ton, and consequently from woodwork
ing; under the old system they are as
scssed one day at least, and must work
or commute. And taxpayers, already
burdened, it may be, object to the pay
ment in cash for labor which they can
perform themselves without great in
convenience. Here the objection to the
old system may be mentioned, viz: that
labor on the highway is one thing, on
the farm another. Every one knows
that, as rule, the days work on the
road is "cut short at both ends;'
that boys labor often counts as man 5
labor; that the roads are worked
once in the spring for all the year. and
at time when such work may not DO
most needed; that the day is often
nothing more nor less than holiday.
If perfect roads are the desideratum,
the old system fails to furnish them, oil
only in exceptional cases. The con
tract system is more expensive until
the road-beds are once more put in
good order, then less money need be
expended upon them. And yet if
man values his time and labor at thu
low price of one dollar per day, the ex
pense objection is largely overcome.
Where the contract system is adopted
and once fairly tried it is not often re
jectcd. Farm. Field and StockmGR.

DESTROYING WEEDS.
How Land Can Be Cleared Of Them in
Few Years.

Few Years.
The time is coming when the most
successful farmers will have but very
few weeds to contend with, for we are
about to make another step of progress
in the cultivation of hoed crops, 1t is
no longer going to be the universal
custom to cease the war with the weeds
at midsummer, but some farmers are
determined to keep up the battle with
weeds during the entire season, and
others prevent any weed seeds from
ripening. 1t has been found by eXpe-
rience that land can be cleared of weed
seeds in a few years, if no new seeds
are permitted to ripen and fertilizers be
used to feed the crops. In fact, it has
been demonstrated that whole farm
can be cleared of weeds by a few years
persistent effort, and thus even the
barn manure may be freed from weed
seeds. A farm thus freed is of much
higher value, and can be worked not
only with much more pleasure, but also
with more profit.
1t was a real comfort to have a gar
den that is freed from weed seeds.
Cultivation is so easy, every farmer, if
he does no more, should keep his
kitchen garden free from weeds; he
should never permit any to ripen
their seeds, 1t is true this, for the first
year or two, is some labor, but it can
be done, and it pays to doit. The way
to do it is simple and within the reach
of abby simply pulling all Of the
weeds and permitting none to ripen
any seed, and using fertilizers, the
work will be accomplished. The great
mistake which most gardeners make is
in neglecting the garden in August
and September, the very time when
the weeds grow the best and ripen
their seed in the least possible numb +
of days. Every weed that is permitted
to grow will probably ripen ten thou
sand seeds-some of them more than
ten times that number. 1t does not re-
quire any argument to prove that il
would be easier to destroy one weed in
August than ten thousand the follow
ing spring; so, though an August weed
might not iniure the ripening crop, it
is economy to take particular pains to
destroy it before it begins to ripen its
seeds.
While some Farmers are fully alive
to the importance of destroying all the
weeds that make their appearance
among the hoed crops, they neglect
entirely to destroy any that grow or
the borders Of the field, in the barn
'Fyard and around the farm-buildings
but if the farm is to be kept clean O
weeds, it is just as Important to de
stroy those on the borders of the tield
and in the barn-yard as it is to destroy
them on thee Rowed-rtnnd. Farmers
should carefully cut down, at leas
twice year, all of the weeds, arounC
the cultivated fields, and on other por
lions of the farm, sand thus prevent the
ripening of weed seeds. There is NJ
labor on the farm that pays better thai
this.-N b. Farmer.

Two Eund red Lots Sold at a Pre-.

Three carloads Of people went out to
Monrovia yesterday to attend w. N.
Monroe's special sale of two hundred
lots. The lots were put on the market
at a minimum price of $500, and the pre-.
miums went toward the erection Of one
of the handsomest school houses in Los
Angeles county. First choice of lots
brought premium of S400 per lot,
amounting in all to some $4,000. This
assures fine school house and not one
dollar collected by the authorities of
that school district. This scheme was
engineered by w. N. Monroe. He
promised the citizens of Monrovia and
vicinity to give them file school
house without taxing them and he did it.

will be done upon that occasion has not
yet been decided upon, but whatever
she proposes to do will be done, like all

CAUSE OF OUR BOOM.
Knox Says a Good Word for the
Papers.


Assemblyman Knox has be en- exten-
sively interviewed in the north, but the
following from the Oakland Enquirer is
the best he has said yet:
"To what factors do You attribute
most of the recent progress?'
"These are numerous. find very
general impression in Northe-a Caiifor-
mia that the progress of Los Angeles is
the result of advertising on the part of
the business men; that pamphlets have
been distributed everywhere in the
East, in which the glories of our section
have been lavishly painted, and that
this is the chief re ason of our progress
This is great error. There has been
but very little of this k n of advertis
ing done-I mean by pamphlets. In
fact do not know OF any pamphlets of
the hind mentioned having been gotten
up or being distributed anywhere East.
The only pamphlet have seen that can
be said to he at all descriptive of the
country, or to answer the inquiries of
strangers, is the annual report of the Los
Angeles Board of Trade. This is largely
statistical, but it has not been G enerally
distributed East. nor used by real estate
men as an advertising medium to set
forth the merits of the country.
"The most that has been done in the
way of advertising the country East has
been by the newspapers. The Los An
geles papers have for three years past
published a special New Years edition,
with a summary of the growth of the
city and county and also of Southern
California. The HERALD has at very
large expense illustrated its special edi
tion and electro typed its pla es, and a
great many thousand copies have been
published. These papers, containing an
immense mass of information on every
imaginable subject pertaining to South
ern California, havo been sent by the
thousands to every town, city and State
in the Union, and hundreds of copies to
Europe. They have been read by hun.
dreds of thousands of people, and
through this medium, particularly in the
past two years, have the Eastern people
become thoroughly educated about
Southern California. until they know
more about it than do the people of the
northern part OF the State. Nearly every
Eastern man in Los Angeles has mailed
dozens of copies Of these papers to his
Eastern friends.
